It was 2 weeks ago that we last visited and I, in my Commentary, suggested
that within my work / methodology I was hearing a whisper that a Buying Opportunity
was in the making. Well, that has turned to reality and the whisper is getting
louder, in fact it is currently - VERY LOUD.

For me, listening with my ears and confirming with my eye tells me - all I
need to know about the What and the When.

Specific Company and ETF - Buy - Recommendations will be provided, just like
in my April 8th Update / Recommendations. (Those were Short - Recommendations.

Stay Tuned.

Please - SCROLL DOWN to my: Current Market Commentary -- and perhaps skip
the following - Narrative.

Narrative:

For me, Investing Wisely simple boils down to two questions - What and When?

With the incredible quantity of chatter available on the Internet and with
thousands of investments being touted as - worthy of your investment money
- what is a serious Investor to do in times like this and beyond?

Clearly - Investment risk must be assessed carefully, therefore to take a
long or a short position needs more than just good fundamentals or technical
analysis that seems to make sense.

I read an enormous amount of material each day, most of which is good, however
it is rare to find even a single specific recommendation or even generic recommendation
such as gold, energy or technology, etc. Excellent Analytics and Specific and
Timely investment decisions are what makes you money, and I believe loading
one's head with tons of details deters from that goal. Further, when
I do find a recommendation or two, in my reading, there has never been an offer
to tell me and others when to close out the recommended transaction without
a fee - or something similar!

* Stock Brokers want to sell you something but never call and say - it's
time to sell. Hum!

* Mutual Funds keep you invested - rain or shine and love charging their annual
fees, which are much higher than advertised. They say - "read the prospectus." Hum!

For over 50+ years I have continued to develop and sharpen my skills of --
Sector, Industry Group, Commodity, Company and ETF -- Rotation.

My Rotation Methodology is simply - Cycle Analytics. With this tool it is
rather easy identifying the specific Sectors, Industry Groups, Commodities
and their (Component Companies and ETFs) that are in favor. And as a result
from these studies / analytics, we also (by default) learn - what securities (Companies and ETFs) are not in favor. That's equally Important!

With all the advice that is offered on a daily basis, over these many years,
I have found it impossible to cross-reference that - constant flow of advice
and opinions with anything tangible that says - this is a solid reason to own
a given / specific security.

So, over the coming months, I would like to share some specific Bull Market recommendations
as well as Bear Market recommendations, But, you should know that I
believe, (luke warm - doesn't work) - - - for you to make this work
profitably for you over the long term, you must personally have / possess two
very precious personal attributes - Patience and Discipline.

In sharing this incredible Methodology of knowing whether the General Market,
Sectors, Industry Groups, Commodities, Companies and ETFs - are worthy of your
investment money - I have found that - all you need to know is -- if they (Securities)
are - Going-To or Coming-From. This is what securities "Rotation" is
all about. So, for example, from a Research / Analytics point of view - it's
all about being able to identify - What (which ones) and When (time
and date) they (specific securities) change from Going-To to Coming From. That's
how I go about identifying - Tops and being sure that - the Inflection Point
- is accurate for that specific security at that specific time. (It's
just the opposite for identifying - Bottoms).

Understand that, I believe, each security has it's own signature and
it's rate and time table of change is different from most all other securities.
And, each security often changes their signature just to snafu both you and
the Analyst. That's why you, quite likely do not enjoy a high percentage
of profitable transactions. This is to say - all the Companies / ETFs in
a Sector or even an Industry Group do not move in unison (Wall Street and Mutual
Funds want you to believe they do!), month after month and year after year.
However there are those (a few) that do, allow you to clearly read their
signature, and they can be readily identified long before decision day to invest.

Inflection Points - both Bull and Bear, within the General Market, only occur,
on average, 3 - 5 times per year. When they occur, we often have a great deal
of lead time for preparation and very little time to respond or implement.
At these critical Inflection Points you simple do not have the time to dink
around looking at your investment tools, or reading what Harry or Sam think,
as a luxury or a form of procrastination. Harry / Sam, and their peers have
screwed up more opportunities for profitable investing than you can imagine.
This is true on the Buying / Shorting side and also true on the Selling / Covering
side.

My Methodology for Wise Investing, has preformed brilliantly for me,
for many years and is anything but a "Trading" approach. It's
repeatability is very consistent and accurate but does not occur on yours' or
my time clock.

So, I invite your to take the time to follow along and you will be both amazed
and profitable pleased.

From time to time and with the cooperation of Safe Haven, I will publish this
(same) article with specific recommendations and/or and updated commentary.
If I have nothing to recommend, which is often - I will provide an Update about
every two weeks.

Commentary : (for June 20th:)

Repeating: I remain a Bear waiting to position the balance of my 100% CASH.

However, for those of you who are following (getting acquainted with my work
/ methodology) -- I expect to take some - Near- Term (1 - 6 weeks -- maybe
longer) Long (Buy) Positions (very soon) before my resuming focus on the
down-side.

. . .

This past week was nothing but a bunch of Churning - four days for the General
Market Averages - that it went NO-WHERE! None the less - the Market is clearly
deteriorating on a very Near-Term basis and setting up for a Buying Opportunity.

Above I introduce you to the word Rotation. Rotation analytics is my
secret to how to identify Tops and Bottoms and it provides me with a "Leading
Indicator(s)" to know both the important - What and When to Buy or Short.

So on a Very Near-Term basis -- Rotation along with other confirming indicators,
that I use, made what -- Can Not Be Seen or Identified -- by the General Market
Indices (Dow, S&P, Nasdaq, Russell, etc.) -- Quite Clear. Internally,
there is much - Very Near-Term - deterioration going on in the Stock Market
and that will continue for only a matter of a few more trading days (3 - 8)
before a conservative and very worth while Buying Opportunity presents itself.

I'll Update this opinion promptly if things change - like still more
Churning, otherwise expect to see some Recommendations posted rather soon.

As a Note / Warning to my Sector / Industry Group Rotation work: Rotation
is the essential key to profiting in the current Marketplace - and has been
so for a long time. So, I strongly emphasize the above word - "Selective." Even
within my Industry Groups the Companies and ETFs are scattered and appear
to be heading in many different directions and some of those directions are
not good for your bottom line.

Dart-Board investing, even when you have the WHEN going for you,
can and often does, cause disappointments!!!

Is Anybody - Listening along with me to the Marketplace as to Where we Are?

The Stock Market is going to be very, very rough on both -- Buy and Hold & Mutual
Fund Investors.

In the coming weeks / months -- Traders are going to have their heads handed
to them on a plate.

It is not going to be a pretty market again for quite some time. It is
the most volatile and bifurcated marketplace I have worked with in a long
time.

If you would like the Sale / Cover side to my specific Recommendations,
Information about my Work, or of me Personally - just send an Email and I
will respond promptly.

I also maintain a conservative yet proactive Blog focused on Rotation which
I will make available to those of you who may wish to be in contact with
me.

However, please understand that it is important to me to know a bit about
you - - so, I will ask you share with me a little personal information and
a little investment background with your goals and objectives - just to get
acquainted. Time will tell if there is a fit with what I do and your investment
needs and objectives.
